Large wheat Crop in RussIa.

George A. Freudenreich. for many years
a citizen Of Minnesota, writes under date
of October 20. from Odessa, Russia: The
wheat crop throughout the whole OF South
Russia. with the exception only OF the
province OF Taurida, including the Crimea,
has turned out to be most excellent. The
quality Of the wheat is also far better than
it has been for years, owing to
the fact that the threshing season was
very dry. Export trade has been extra
ordinarily lively here for the past six
weeks, and there have been as many as
forty steamers here at once. Seven-eighths
OF them are OF course, English, OF the ocean
tramp class. Prices OF all kinds Of grain
ars extremely low. while freights have
ranged higher than for several years past.
